Recent scholarship includes "A Bloody Shame: Chaucer's Honorable Women" and "The Voice of Flattery vs Sober Truth: William Godwin, Thomas Erskine and the 1792 Trial of Thomas Paine for Sedition." There was also an article that "introduces and prints" text from a fifteenth-century English manuscript. Each issue also features a large section of two- to three-page reviews.
